Satisfy your paper fetish and support teen mentoring at the same time

2010-09-09T05:01:57+16:00

Even if you don't love letterpress (who doesn't love letterpress?), you'll want to get behind this teen mentoring initiative, School: By Design, which pairs designers with high school students in a 6-week program to "redesign their school." The most innovative project created during the program receives a $10,000 award for implementation.

To support the School: by Design, 25 leading letterpress printers each created 50 limited edition notebooks with Loop paper donated by Mohawk. They are being sold on a special storefront on Felt & Wire Shop. 100% of the proceeds benefit the kids. Make your way over and check out the goods.

With tons-o-monitor arms, Colebrook Bosson Saunders is ready for the touchscreen revolution

2010-09-09T01:32:58+16:00

Once desktop touchscreens explode in popularity--which will probably happen after Apple releases their rumored touchscreen iMac later this year--PC manufacturers will have to incorporate some serious industrial design to enable screens to travel from viewing height to touch-friendly distance. The standard cheapie monitor stand, which typically looks like an afterthought, just ain't gonna cut it.

A multinational company called Colebrook Bosson Saunders, which made the first monitor arms back in the '80s, isn't sitting around waiting for the touchscreen revolution to happen; they've already got a full line of monitor arms (above) designed for a variety of situations, ranging from bare-bones simple to precision-adjustment to heavy-duty to height-adjusting. They can be mounted to posts, clamped to desks, and even hung from slatwalls. Check out their lineup here.
